Adventures of a Novelty Fabric and Selvage Obsessed Quilter

Glad you stopped by!

I am a busy wife and the mom of 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl who are Sophomores at Syracuse University.

I have been quilting since the spring of 2008. I love novelty fabrics, colorful and unique.

Selvage quilting is addictive! Who knew the "junk" we cut off and threw out would be what I now save! I started a new tradition when I travel--visiting quilt stores! I particularly enjoy going to stores that have been named in the Quilt Sampler Featured Shop Lists-

Thanks for stopping by!
This is my 5th time participating,

I made this quilt for Seth, who
is my sister-in-law Becky's
adorable new nephew.

Here is is admiring his new quilt!
The front "DAY"
The back "NIGHT"

    I love how you used the panels. That is so creative to have it two-sided. It looks like little Seth likes it...I do, too!
